 Maintained by the [[American Battle Monuments Commission]], the cemetery of {{convert|4.5|acre}} lies to the west of the civilian [[Brookwood Cemetery]], built by the [[London Necropolis Company]] and opened in 1854. The American cemetery is flanked by the much larger Brookwood Military Cemetery, maintained by the [[Commonwealth War Graves Commission]], which contains more than 5,000 war dead from the two world wars.
